Black Cat Vineyard

Sometimes I have to think a minute about what sort of wine would be appropriate with an activity, rather than a certain meal.

The Black Cat was a three year vertical of Cab. '08, '10 & '12. 2/3 acre vineyard planted up against Kenefick Ranch in Calistoga. Old school Cab picked @ 22°. Merrill is a sweetheart and is also a customer of mine now so I had to buy this year. Looking forward to trying it.
